Sappi Europe shares insight on its sustainability journey at PulPaper in Helsinki
Today we are all experiencing the serious impact of climate change. Sappi Europe, as a global company, is committed to pursuing a stringent decarbonisation plan to reduce detrimental effects on the environment. As part of its long-term global commitment to climate protection and sustainable production, the company has successfully converted many of its production sites to renewable energy. At its Kirkniemi Mill in Lohja, Finland, Sappi Europe has invested an amount in the double-digit millions which will enable the full conversion of its energy supply to renewable bioenergy. This investment will reduce the mill’s direct fossil greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 90 per cent, equivalent to 230 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. “This is just one of many measures we are taking on our journey towards greater sustainability. We are committed to being part of the solution and are rigorously focusing on our decarbonisation plan,” confirms Marco Eikelenboom, CEO of Sappi Europe.
